If You Love Kids, You Will Love Running a Child-related Franchise

As you explore into different types of franchise opportunities, you will see that there are numerous types of franchises out there. Do you love kids? Then these types of franchises might be just the right fit.

• Tutoring / Learning Centers: Some children need a little bit of an extra hand, and you can help them achieve their goals. A little extra care and a little extra academic instruction can help a student reach for the A. 
• Art/Music: Extra curricular art and music enrichment programs are critical to academic performance and lifelong success. With funding for arts and music being cut from many school curriculums, parents are seeking programs outside of the traditional school setting. The demand is there! 
• Children’s Events/Party Planning: Celebrating children's life events has become a booming industry as parents try to enrich their children's lives with more creative parties. Character entertainment has become a popular option for children's events - there are business out there than can make it much easier. 
• Children’s Fitness: Allow kids to keep running and running, playing various sports at your location. Development of motor, coordination and social skills benefit overall development. The kids will appreciate the fun, and the parents will enjoy their worn-out kids. 

This is just a handful of potential business concepts that focuses on children and child development. Not quite for you? There are hundreds of other franchise business concepts that FranNet can help you explore.

Don't miss my upcoming FREE event, "More Than Fries: A Realistic Discussion About Franchising (In Partnership with SCORE)." This event takes place on August 11 in Grand Blanc, MI. To find out more and to RSVP, please click on this link.

THE FAST FIVE OF THE FRANCHISOR

• Caters to the B2B sector
• High earnings potential
• On-going support
• Large, protected area
• High energy, engaging environment

B2B? B2C? What about HB2B?

There are many different types of business structures out there. All of them fall into two broad categories as to the targeted market, those being Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Consumer (B2C). 

Maybe you are looking for something different.  You want to be your own boss, but you need a bit of flexibility.  What about HB2B?

What’s that?  Home-based-to-business. 

You don’t even have to start something from scratch.  There are plenty of franchise business concepts to meet your entrepreneurial needs.  Let’s take a look at the potential:

• Consulting:  Your home is your base, and you go out to meet with your different business clients.  Create value for your clients, making money as they make money.  A total win-win. 
• Sales:  Your clients might think you work out of a big office building.  Combine your sales and marketing skills, charming personality, and a franchised business concept – and you have a winning combination.
• Services:  IT, digital marketing, facility maintenance and repair and many other options can easily hit the road.  Bring your talents to the people, and reap the rewards.

One of the great things about working as a HB2B franchised business concept, you have a franchisor that will provide you with the training and the tools.  You even have a network of other franchisees as a sounding board.

My next event entited "More Than Fries: A Realistic Discussion About Franchising" takes place on August 11, 2015.  In partnership with SCORE, you'll learn that franchises are more than fast food and restaurants.  In fact, there are over 90 industries with franchise concepts available.  Find out more about this event by clicking on this link.

You can also contact me directly with any questions, or if you would like to set up a one-on-one consultation.  All of FranNet's events, consultations and webinars are FREE - no cost, no obligation.  You can reach me directly at lbelford@frannet.com or 810-423-3956.

Be different!  Franchises are More Than Just Fries.

When you hear the term franchise, there are two things that usually pop into mind.

• Restaurants
• Pro Sports Teams 

Experian reported in 2014 that the top choice for entrepreneurial startups was restaurants. 10.6% of new businesses were restaurants. Personal services accounted for 6.9%, miscellaneous retail for 6.6%, business services for 6.3%, and general contractors 5.5%.

According to the National Restaurant Association, there are already 1 million restaurant locations in the United States. (70% of those are single-unit operations).

Here’s your chance to be different. There are two FREE webinars coming up on Wednesday, June 24.

LIGHT MANUFACTURING
2:00pm – 3:30pm
Take a dive into a light manufacturing opportunity in a professional, business-to-business format. Some of the highlights include: traditional business hours, few employees with high skill levels, and high repeat business.
